plugged in
Drawing wall power
Plugged in describes being connected to a power source or electronic system: Make sure the laptop is plugged in.
Figuratively, someone who is plugged in is well-informed and connected to current developments in their field or community: She's really plugged in to what's happening in the industry.
The opposite, unplugged, suggests disconnection from technology or the digital world.
